How many implausibilities can you put into one movie? Kevin Kline makes this movie enjoyable only for his charismatic presence. And it was fun picking out real-life politicos of the early 90s. Otherwise, this is pure sugar-coated drivel. It's pretty obvious where the movie's politics lies - there is no ambiguity of purpose, no voice for any other view (except maybe Alan Simpson). I'm an American Liberal of sorts and moments in this movie made me wince because of their obvious propaganda.
But if you put all of that aside and just want to see a sweet and charming but unintelligent and unbelievable romance, then this movie is for you.
